I assume it's not network lag in this case. It seems more like computer/client side lag rather than network lag (when it lags, everything freezes for 1-4 seconds, and I can't move my mouse or anything, then it catches up). It even happens in replays (which is worse than in game actually). I can make WoL fine (on Ultra), even 4v4s with computers on very hard (with comps building fast). However HotS, even on lower settings (and physics off), 1v1s lag a ton. Edit - The game is 100% downloaded (optimal) so it's not some weird issue with streaming either (I assume). | ||

Simple Answer: play 20-25 minute, 3 base, macro games (AI/Custom vs Friends/Ladder), for 60 hours At least for me it's working. Hoping there's a quicker way (there probably is) but this is your best bet for now. Detailed Answer: + Show Spoiler + Well, you get EXP from building stuff and killing stuff. I tried cheesing 6 minute games, got around 5k exp a game. Of course there's the 10k "First Win of the Day" Bonus but that only applies once. I haven't experimented too much but the way I grind is playing 3 base, 20-25 minute games vs. AI, of ~50k exp each game (roughly 25k from production, 25k from destruction). Using my strat, you'll need approximately ~60 hours real time to get to level 30 for one race. Each level requires 20k exp more than the level before (lvl. 1 -> lvl. 2 requires 5000, 2 -> 3 needs 25000, 3 -> 4 needs 45000, etc. etc.). This puts you at roughly 9 million exp for level 30. 9000000 exp divided by 50k a game = 180 games. 180 games divided by 3 games an hour puts you at roughly 60 hours. You can always go custom FFA with your friends and have your friends spoonfeed units to your deathball (~180 supply) while you spoonfeed them with the remaining 20 supply (you get exp for building, remember?). *Might have done my math wrong, but my strategy is still going to be around 50-60 hrs. EDIT: It's ~8.2m exp, so about 54 hours. Probably less since 1st win of the day bonus, but that's still around 50 hours. And you might want to spend some of the games messing around or actually laddering so you're not guaranteed ~50k exp a game. | ||

Set them to hard or harder at least, and at the 5 minute mark, you can keep requesting resources from your computer (don't overdo this though or else the computer won't have enough to build stuff themselves). Use the extra resources to build a lot more structures and units. For Terran (probably a bit faster for Protoss due to warp ins, and maybe Zerg with larva injects), I can do about 50k exp in 20-22 min game, so your calculation would be right (60 hours to get max level for terran). (I never actually timed myself in 1v1s though, I should try that). You get 100% of unit cost (minerals + gas) when you build or destroy a unit/structure. (It decreases by 77% at some point though, I think it's based off of exp gain or a time limit.) So 60 hours to get to level 30 for 1 race, 180 total for everyone? With only 1 month, I'm not sure if I can do that in time >.<. IMO, they should tone it a bit down for the beta. 180 hours seems not doable for me if it takes that long (plus, HotS is lagging for me and I want to play mostly WoL before nearly everyone switches to HotS). Ironically, you could probably get to paragon level 60 or so with 180 hours (at about 50-60 million exp per hour, which is the average for most classes currently) in D3 +make some cash along the way selling stuff you find for $$. | ||

I think the decrease hits around 50k exp. At first I thought it was time but it didn't seem like it for me. Then I though it's when they offer to surrender (since it's vs AI). Unless there's some complex equation behind the decrease, we can assume 50k? EDIT: LOLOL, according to the other thread, the 20k increase per level doesn't stay for all the levels. So it's significantly lower than 8 million, maybe even lower than 4 million. | ||

Is there a solution for this or is this standard in the beta (would be weird)? | ||
